In this course, we will focus
on the Ur-text of vampire literature, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the
various ways in which the image if the Undead Count has been adapted and
transformed by different writers and film-makers around the world. After
reading Stoker’s fast-paced and action-packed novel, we will examine various
literary and cinematic adaptations that offer different perspectives on the
image and meaning of the immortal Count. Texts include Bram Stoker’s Dracula;
Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire; Hideyuki Kikuchi, Vampire
Hunter D; and Karen Essex, Dracula in Love. Films may include Murnau’sNosferatu; Badham’sDracula (with Frank Langella); Tod Browning’s American Dracula (with Bela Lugosi); Hammer’s Dracula has Risen from the Grave;
and Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (with Gary Oldman),
and others.
